Adelaide home for sale is a 'thrilling paradox of old and new'

Traditional meets contemporary is the overarching theme of an Adelaide home for sale.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom property at 11 Castle Street is described by the agents as a “thrilling paradox of old and new” on the listing and it’s clear to see why.

Photos reveal the home’s exterior which combines a classic Victorian terrace with a geometric extension.

The unique abode is scheduled to go to auction at 2.30pm on January 27 and is on the books of Lew Toop and Gena Nash of TOOP+TOOP Real Estate.

The property consists of a renovated Victorian terrace that was a lolly shop back in the 1880s to the right, and on the left a sleek and geometric extension with a slanted roof.

Characteristics of a classic Victorian terrace are evident with coloured brickwork, lattice detail and front porches. This contrasts with the architecturally designed extension with its grey and charcoal tones.

Original details remain such as the ornate fireplaces and decorative ceiling roses. Fresh updates include crisp whitewashed walls, plush charcoal carpet and designer lighting.

The kitchen forms part of the extension and is modern with its white benchtops and cabinetry, glass splashback, Sydney Red Gum timber floors and adjoining courtyard. The extension also contains the master bedroom, one of the bathrooms and the laundry.

There is an additional courtyard to relax and unwind, as well as multiple verandahs.

The property is right in the heart of Adelaide, with its CBD and local restaurants in walking distance.
